Bob Carter (footballer)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bob Carter was an Irish soccer player during the 1920s.

He played for Bohemians and St. James's Gate F.C. during his career in the League of Ireland. Carter was a left half who played in the very first FAI Cup Final against Shamrock Rovers in 1922. The match ended 1-1 and unfortunately for Bob, he lost his place for the replay which Gate won. ^[1]

He found it tough to regain his place in the side and he moved to Bohemians during the 1923/24 season. He duly won a Shield winners medal beating Shelbourne in a play-off. He was a regular in the first team for the next 2 and a half seasons and made 75 appearances for the club.
